Grant Competition

In July 2020, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) and the Indiana Defense Network hosted Indiana manufacturing companies at the state's first Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM). The Indiana TIM required companies to present project proposals that address the opportunities and challenges in digital thread - a new technology framework that helps companies process and evaluate real-time data within the lifecycle of a product or system.
